Everton 1-0 Ipswich Town | EXTENDED Premier League highlights
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The match between Everton and Ipswich Town at Goodison Park began with high energy from both sides, though Everton quickly established their dominance through clinical finishing. Early in the game, a well-worked move involving Jack Grealish and Keane set up a significant chance for Brennan Johnson, who unfortunately missed a clear opportunity to score. Despite this near miss, Ipswich managed to create some pressure, with Fatau Ayomide delivering a powerful long-range shot that required a brilliant save from Jordan Pickford. However, the home side's composure returned when James Tarkowski volleyed the ball into the net after a deflection by Tierno Ballo, giving Everton a crucial 1-0 lead just before the floodlights were needed to illuminate the stadium as the sky turned gray.
As the game progressed, Everton continued to control the tempo and created further opportunities that tested the Ipswich defense. A corner kick delivered by James Garner resulted in a fierce half-volley from Fatau Ayomide, which Pickford saved with an acrobatic palm save to his right. Later, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall orchestrated another attack that culminated in a goal for Everton, doubling their advantage to 2-0. Although there was controversy regarding an offside decision during the replay review of this second goal, the referee upheld the call after determining that the player impacted the goalkeeper's ability to save, leading to an indirect free kick for Ipswich. The crowd and commentators expressed frustration with the decision, but the result stood as Everton comfortably took control of the match.
In the final minutes, both teams pushed for a winner, with Ipswich earning a booking for diving from one of their players after a challenge went down. Everton managed to break through the defense again with Harrison Armstrong making a run that was ultimately too wide to be fruitful, while Ipswich struggled to find a breakthrough against a disciplined Everton backline led by Ciaran O'Shea. As time expired, David Moyes could be seen pointing to his watch, signaling his desire for the match to end, and the final whistle confirmed a comfortable victory for the home side. The relief was palpable among the Everton fans who had been hanging on throughout the game, especially after playing with ten men for a portion of the second half, securing three valuable points in what was described as a great start to the season.

Stuart Attwell blows his whistle. We are
underway here at Dickinson Stadium,
Saturday afternoon, 3:00. It doesn't get
better than this.
We had that James Garner directed
forward. Mykolenko heads it on. Volleyed
away. James Garner
half volley is completely sliced into
the air. Flicked on by Mykolenko. James
Garner is in the England squad, Sods.
>> Yeah, and rightly so as well. He's a
top, top player.
>> Jack Grealish gets away with one there.
Carries the ball forward for Everton.
Slips it into the path of Keane and J.
B. Hall, who tried to take it with him.
They Ipswich would take fourth from
bottom now, wouldn't they, Sods?
>> Yeah.
>> Tierno Ballo to J. B. Hall, back to
Ballo again. Little lay off for Harrison
Armstrong. To the feet OF JOHNSON. GREAT
CHANCE. OH, HE'S MISSED IT, JOHNSON. Oh
my goodness me, he's got to score.
That's an absolute sitter from Brennan
Johnson.
>> know what, Daz? He's done brilliantly
how he took it and come away. It's a
great ball.
It's a great ball into him. Watch this,
how he's took it, but then he's got to
score.
>> Tries to play it reverse pass, gets the
look of the ricochet. Ooh,
Maitland-Niles
Maitland-Niles was in space, but he
gives it to
Mykolenko. J. B. Hall puts a PEACH OF A
BALL IN. Pushed away by the goalkeeper.
TARKOWSKI ON THE VOLLEY. TAKES A
DEFLECTION AND IT'S GONE IN.
TIERNO BALLO
WILL TAKE THE GOAL.
IT WAS A VOLLEY FROM JAMES TARKOWSKI.
Tierno Ballo got a deflection on it and
it's gone into the back of the net and
Everton lead and if Beto is on body is
on side,
that's a goal.
>> I don't celebrate, does he? I think he
was onside. The The linesman never even
contemplated on putting his flag up.
Oh, he's giving it.
Let's hope it stands.
>> Just watching the replay here.
Cross comes in. It's a It's a It's a
lovely ball in, isn't it, from Juke?
Great ball in.
Comes out to Tarkowski.
>> Oh, he's yards on. He's well onside.
>> He's well onside.
He is well onside.
>> GET IN THERE. SCORES.
>> Ipswich Town, the sky turning gray here
at Hill Dickinson Stadium. We'll need
the floodlights very shortly, I'm sure.
So, more important things to worry about
here. It's a corner and it's
sliced high into the air by
James Garner.
>> Pickford came a long way. The ball
bounced kindly for Garner. WHAT A SAVE
by Jordan Pickford because Fatau caught
the half volley with his left foot
absolutely ferociously, and Jordan
Pickford flung himself to his right and
got a really strong palm on it.
>> What a strike that was, and what a save
from Jordan.
>> It was a bizarre incident, wasn't it?
The ball was in the air for an age.
Maitland-Niles back to Armstrong again.
He goes back to James Tarkowski, and
Snodgrass back in his chair.
And eventually, we give it away. Now,
here come Ipswich. Fatau has gone for
goal from a long way out. Jordan
Pickford
didn't know whether it was going in or
not, and he's palmed it away for a
corner. It was a clever effort from
Fatau. I don't think it was going in,
but Pickford didn't know.
Lewis Davis
runs into Harness. Great advantage
played by Stuart Attwell.
Here's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Good
refereeing up. Got to where credit's
due. Jack Grealish left hand side of the
penalty area. Dewsbury Hall shot
blocked. GREAT CHANCE FOR GARNER. Good
block by the defender. Ciaran O'Shea
playing a captain's role there.
Oof.
Good defending there.
>> Great defending.
>> You're asking for him to block it and he
certainly did.
>> Well done Harrison Armstrong. Got the
ball. Jack Clarke disagrees. The referee
doesn't. Here comes
Maitland-Niles. Still going. Into the
penalty area. Barry with the
>> header. Just wide.
>> Goal kick but a nice move.
>> Yeah, it was a nice move. Great tackling
back by Harrison Armstrong there. Decent
ball from Maitland-Niles into Barry.
Headed just wide of this near post.
>> Turns on it.
And he gives it away
to Patarulo
to Lukić.
Good tracking back by
>> Mykolenko. Good play by Lukić. Emerson
shooting chance maybe for Emerson. Left
hand side of the penalty area. Jack
Clarke curled in towards Emerson again.
It's wide. The header. It's a goal kick.
>> And Jimmy Garner just spending a little
bit more time than he needed to on the
ball then and then tried a little fiddly
one.
>> I'll be happy if we're one up at half
time.
>> Yeah, I am. So will I.
I was thinking that myself. Thought
get him in.
Have words with him.
>> Palacios to
Patarulo.
It's a good ball and it's a great ball
and oh my goodness me.
Leif Davis is on his own inside the six
yard box.
Free header for Lukić.
>> And Celina picks it up for Ipswich.
>> The referee jumps out of his way. He
feeds it to Jack Clark on this left-hand
side. Maitland now stands his ground.
Clark takes it in field. Good ball and
Ciso. Good save, Jordan Pickford. 31
seconds in, Snods.
>> Yeah, good start from Ipswich Town. Good
save low down, Jordan Pickford, as well.
>> They've come out with intent.
>> Here's the replay, Snods.
>> Yeah, Clark's just come inside, played a
lovely ball.
>> The left-footed inswinger from DEWSBURY
HALL.
BARRIE!
>> YEAH!
>> SCORES AGAIN!
2-0!
>> GETTING!
>> WE SAID WE NEEDED A SECOND. WE'VE GOT A
SECOND. AND I TIERNO BARRIE HAS SCORED
AGAIN, AND EVERTON HAVE DOUBLED the
advantage.
It's 2-0.
>> The corner comes in. The goalkeeper's
nowhere near it. He can't save it.
There's no interference whatsoever. He's
got He's not getting that. There is no
interference. He is not
>> at all. There's no interference.
>> interference. He's not getting that at
all.
>> After review,
Everton number 22 is in an offside
position. He impacts the goalkeeper's
ability to save the ball. My final
decision is an indirect free kick.
>> Pathetic.
>> He doesn't impact the goalkeeper.
>> Absolutely That is That is a total and
utter incorrect. That's the wrong thing
to say.
>> Picked up by Watara.
>> Watara on the right-hand side to Fatawu.
Fatawu to Watara, back to Fatawu again.
>> Oh, that's booking, referee.
>> He's going to get booked for diving,
isn't he?
>> Good spot, Snods.
Fatawu is off.
>> Yeah.
>> Grealish has a bit of space to operate
in.
Lays it off to Maitland-Niles.
Tyler Dibling
brings it in field. Chance for Tyler
Dibling. Oh, good save by the
goalkeeper. Dibling has his head in his
hands.
And he's about to take off this boy.
>> I wish that had gone in for him.
>> Dewsbury-Hall. Tyrique George is wide on
the left. George picks it up. Advances
towards the penalty area. Tyrique
George, can he find a blue jersey?
Dewsbury-Hall back to Garner. Garner,
lovely ball. Dibling inside the penalty
area. Dibling, too many defenders around
him, surely. And he still gets a shot
away. And it's a corner kick.
>> He's flying.
>> He is.
Dewsbury-Hall would just
feinted Tyrique George. Come on, son.
And then there you're in.
Oh.
4 minutes to go.
Jake O'Brien is about to come on.
ARMSTRONG IS BREAKING THROUGH.
DEWSBURY-HALL AND BALL. HARRISON
ARMSTRONG!
OH, MY WORD. HE'S WELL, well wide.
>> Why didn't he just slide it?
>> He's got to slide Dewsbury-Hall and
It's over. Jake O'Brien is picked up by
Akpom on the near side. Lays it to Leaf
Davis. Back to Akpom. In field it goes
to Watara. Watara looks to switch it
towards Maeda. Jarrad Branthwaite again.
>> Come on, Tyrique.
>> Majestic climb. Now it's with Issahaku.
Back it goes to Watara. It'll come back
in again. Watara plays it wide to Leaf
Davis on the left-hand side. Leaf Davis

And there's the final whistle. Three
points for Everton.
Relief all round here at Goodison.

10 minutes or so, but does, I don't care
how we won.
>> Yeah.
>> It come off Barry, whether he meant it
or not or getting out of the way, I
don't care. We've got three points and
